However, comprehensive studies on the adoption of Open Science practices remain limited, particularly in the nursing academic context. This study aimed to identify the current Open Science practices within a higher nursing education institution community. A cross-sectional, observational, and descriptive study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, a questionnaire was adapted and piloted through a focus group. In the second phase, the final version of the questionnaire, with 34 questions, was distributed digitally to 747 teachers, researchers and students.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p>The study included 35 respondents, predominantly faculty members, with 50% holding a Ph.D. and 61.1% affiliated with research groups. While 77.8% reported engaging with Open Science publications, fewer respondents demonstrated familiarity with practices such as study preregistration and open-source coding. The principles of Open Science were widely accepted, particularly those emphasizing ethics, the democratization of knowledge, and scientific collaboration. Participants frequently used tools like EbscoHost, Medline, and Scopus, whereas platforms such as Zenodo and OpenUP Hub remained underutilized. Participants highlighted training priorities, especially in open access publishing, data management, and the implementation of Open Science recommendations. A notable finding of this study was the low participation in the study, suggesting the need to enhance awareness among the higher education community regarding the importance of Open Science. Although all participants agreed with the principles of Open Science, most reported not knowing its policies and not all were familiar with the various formats.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p>This study emphasized the need for investment in skills training for Open Science practices and for in-depth studies on motivation, adherence and enabling conditions, particularly in the context of Higher Education.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/2025.03.26.25324671","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,28]],"date-time":"2025-03-28T04:34:28Z","timestamp":1743136468000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Open Science Practices: A cross-sectional, observational, and descriptive study in a Portuguese nursing higher education institution"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7694-2323","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Sabrina","family":"Sousa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6157-7821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mafalda","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Diana","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4025-1969","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Palmira","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Regina","family":"Pires","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0005-6384","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro","family":"Melo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Frias","family":"Rosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Amparo","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Rosa","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2025032902501034000_2025.03.26.25324671v1.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2777\/061652"},{"key":"2025032902501034000_2025.03.26.25324671v1.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chavanayarn S .
